What is happening to the Forums?!
« on: January 16, 2012, 01:55:46 PM »
I have not been a member for that long, but things have definitely changed since I joined.  I remember everyone being friendly to each other and helping each other out.  Now it seems that there are a few people that are just looking for mistakes in peoples' posts so that they can jump down someone's throat and point out his mistakes and start a debate.  Whats the deal?

just looking for mistakes in peoples' posts

It's people's, not peoples'.

Seriously though, there might be some (new?) members that enjoy long drawn out arguments (post count?), so they comment on every possible mistake or discrepancy they find. I find that the best thing is not to engage (unless you're on a post-run), and ignore any such posts.

i must tell you, some posts in this thread are quite funny. it got me to laugh..

I have not been a member for that long, but things have definitely changed since I joined.  I remember everyone being friendly to each other and helping each other out.  Now it seems that there are a few people that are just looking for mistakes in peoples' posts so that they can jump down someone's throat and point out his mistakes and start a debate.  Whats the deal?

I guess that since these days, there was a huge increase in n00bs.

I was gonna post something jumping down your throat etc. but I was worried you might not get the joke...

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.

Is that the stance of ddf now. Anything bad to ever happen on the forums we just blame on Henche?

That wasnt blaming Henche...that was praising him for bringing some humor around this place.
